0:00.0	I am really enjoying this process. I have developed some great daily habits that have benefited my body,
0:08.2	and I feel like right now I am the healthiest I have ever been in my whole life. I know that I could not have
0:15.0	achieved this on my own. I am thankful every day. The best way to describe my mindset is truly feeling like food freedom.
0:23.9	Like I mentioned to you before, I have my non-negotiables for nutrition, and then I can have
0:29.2	a small ice cream or a piece of candy when I want one.
0:32.6	I don't crave it, but I tell myself that I'm allowed to have it.
0:35.4	That way, I don't overindulge in it.
0:37.2	I have enough. I'm satisfied, and it is'm allowed to have it. That way I don't overindulge in it. I have enough.
0:38.3	I'm satisfied and it is so great to have that kind of control.
0:44.3	Another, I think this one's a timely testimony just given the season that we're in right now with the holiday season upon us.

1:24.9	like my relationship with food and my mental health. Because when you're
1:29.2	consumed by food 24-7 and your thoughts always go to like, how am I going to approach this
1:35.7	holiday party? How am I going to approach this dinner? How am I going to approach this? And you're
1:39.8	constantly thinking about your next meal. You're constantly thinking about, you know,
1:43.9	should I save up calories? Should I not eat in the morning? Should I fast? Should I do this? Should I
1:50.0	lower my calories on the days around these, you know, holiday meals? And it just weighs on you. It
1:56.3	becomes this giant burden. And I don't know if you're anything like me, eventually you hit that
2:02.5	breaking point where you're just like screw it. And that's typically when the wheels come flying off
